Our Club and its Members

We are a small group of people with a passion for history and metal detecting that came together and formed the club in 1974 . Both Men and Women play an active role in the club and we now have 25 members.

Links with the Portable Antiquity Scheme

We have a good relationship with our local Finds Liaison Officer Kurt Adams who occasionally attends our meetings to identify and record finds we have found within the Portable Antiquity Scheme.

Local Events and Fundraising for Charities

The club members attend several local events to show off their finds and talk to the public. We also raise money by letting people see what they can find in our buried treasure patch of seeded pre decimal coins and together with the sale of second hand books and other items we are able to raise money for both the farming charity RABI and our local Air Ambulance charities, of which we are passionate about. At Christmas we have a collection for The Salvation Army too.

Fully Insured and Responsible Detectorists

All our club members are fully insured through the "Association for Metal Detecting Sport" (AMDS) with Public Liability Insurance cover of £10,000,000. 

We understand the importance of protecting your property and will always adhere to the "Code of Practice for Metal Detecting in England & Wales" as defined by the Portable Antiquity Scheme (PAS) and also subsequently adopted by the AMDS.
